Slider (LuaGuiElement)

Post by maroder »

I do not understand why the slider for modders is still not available. In the game it appeared a long time ago.
For example: the choice of the number of items in the configuration of the logistics of the character, in the logistics of the inserter, in the combinator (with the possibility of entering numbers); in additional parameters for generating the world (without the possibility of entering numbers).

The slider is a combination of 4 different GUI elements and has no single-purpose design. Everywhere it's used in-game is custom fit to make it work in that scenario.

I think it was suggested for inventory-same GUI, where you can slide resipes up and down with mouse wheel.

This is it.

I can bind several elements in my script.
I need: 1) to set the "only numbers" parameter for "text-box" (LuaGuiElement).
2) Add a "slider" element that will have values from 0 to 1.

What four elemets are that? If i had to guess without any knowledge of the code it looks like a progressbar with a "sliding button" on top of it (where the progress bar "happens" to be filled exactly up to the buttons position).

There's no need to have a premade dedicated input-text field there as that is easily addable manually (and needs to be styled anyway) as the picture suggests(?) ...Actually a clickable progressbar (i.e. without the button) would be a sufficiently usable substitute if it returns a value between 0 and 1.
